An amp doesn't just add more power to a dap, it also add a couple of effects to the sound such as more details, clarity, bass and a wider soundstage. It's like getting 2D to 3D , an amp can completely change the sound quality to makes it better
@Brooko : So what is a consequent action of those five thing that amp is capable to change? Why couldn't it enhance capability of the hardware source which already provides it?
I'm in no way claiming to be an audiophile; got into headphones about 7-8 months ago (as part of doing reviews of accessories for Android sites and being asked to review headphones).
I do have level of volume comfort I test with and without an amp, and I can clearly hear a brighter sound which gives a perception of more details and sometime opens the soundstage (perhaps, part of perception as well). I can also hear more rumbling in low end, etc. Just saying this in general. I never really used amp until got a review sample of E11k a few weeks ago, and it really opened my eye and ears testing with higher quality sources like X5 of AP100, and using IEMs like ATH-IM03, W40, UE900s, etc.
The same with different headphone cables. Using silver plated OFC replacement cables, with either IM03 or W40, really brightens up the sound in comparison to stock OFC cable.
You are understating the use of an amp on head fi !
Which is why once I refurb some iPod minis it's all music. Still got like 5 albums to buy. FLAC ftw.You sir need to chill and enjoy your music more. Seriously.....
Oh I hope I don't get banned for that statement
